I got just the feet as it was loads easier than doing hands! Still a lovely keep sake. We chuckle now as I our baby has the biggest hands and feet ever! I don't feel sad that I don't have a hand print.

It is so difficult, I don’t wanna wake her when she’s asleep too do it either. I was thinking, would it be easier to get the clay cast, rather than ink 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ I want too do while LG is still small, but it’s just so hard x

I got a foot print done at one of those paint your own ceramics places. So we got some tiles made :) He was awake. Was easy enough!

Apparently it’s quite impossible to get a handprint until they are about 6 months as they keep them clenched. We eventually managed to get a footprint. I got a necklace with it on as well xx

It is impossible lol. I have seen the necklaces, which I love. I might see about trying too get foot print and hand when she’s older. She’s just such a fidget x

Feet is much easier, and you should do it with two people. I recommend washable paint at that age x

That’s like what we have got, what age did you do it from? I have been looking at casts, can get the kit from amazon, seen pretty straight forward. I love my LG’s hands, so would really love hands and feet, but I know it’s gonna be hard work 😬 x
